[UPDATE: Yes! The Onion owns this site. So yes, it’s fake.] This might be the most absurd NBA thing I’ve read in years. It has to be fake, right? I really hope it’s fake. If not, this Stephenson Billings character is going to have a million emails. [Christ Wire]

Saturday night, the UConn women had their 99-game home winning streak snapped by unranked St. John’s. [Courant]

This one’s titled, “Lucky Guy.

Gotta keep your head on a swivel. Cool way to start the week.

Not a bad debut by JR Smith of the Knicks

When Smith was with Denver, there were moments when he would heat up from deep & have the fans on their feet. If he’s a consistent contributor the rest of this season, MSG will be rockin’. That’s not the same as winning all their games, mind you. “But, it’s gonna be entertaining.”

Steve Novak belting in the fourth quarter yesterday was a sight to behold.

This one is just for the Texas A&M fans

Keep the fucking dance team off the field. Nobody cares about that shit anyway.

I’m guessing the pants he’s wearing aren’t so lucky. holy shit.

That Christ Wire article is mind boggling. I hope you’re right that it’s fake.

Loved it. The end of yesterday’s golf tourny was awesome as well. Yesterday didn’t make me miss football yet.

By Dancer’s you mean Pole Carnie’s right?

There’s what, a zero percent chance the Christwire article is real? It seems like the work of Increase McPageviews to me.

This. Mickelson and Bradley birdie-ing 18 to force the playoff was awesome. Also awesome was the guy on the hill behind the green rolling around in excitement.

I do not hate the blacks. In point of fact, I actually envy them their success in our national enterprise, but I must honestly question their outsized role in our society. We are talking about what is essentially an immigrant minority that is less than 8% of the U.S. population. Through affirmative action and corrupt recruiting techniques, this ethnic group has won disproportionate placement in many facets of our culture.

Uhhhhhh

Tip of the cap to Bill Haas for doing the smart thing and playing the safe shot onto the green.

There aren’t any of those in College Station.

cj, I’m not gonna read any article that inserts inflammatory stuff like that quote. The excerpt you shared has evident logical flaws. I suspect the rest of the article is more of the same, intellectually-deficient remarks.

Bring on the fuzzy animals. Or girls. Either’s fine with me.

Im not sure. All the comments below on it seem very real.

The comments in that Christ Wire article are, um, interesting to say the least. For example:

The only racists are the blacks preventing real Americans from playing basketball

I swear people who say why they don’t watch basketball have never seen more than one game in their lives. It’s always the “every player is selfish and they don’t play defense” excuse, which is a crock of shit.

Durant and WestBrook were on their Super Duper Saiyan Shit yesterday. Just ridiculous watching them go all Double Dragon.

The NBA had a good day yesterday. I didn’t miss football too much, either.

I love college ball but hate the NBA. Compared to the college game, it appears that those two things are true — i.e, I understand why people hold that opinion. It’s not true, but it seems true.

To me, though, the NBA lacks atmosphere, effort, and energy compared to college, and that’s why I dislike it. Plus the season/playoffs are waaaaaaaay tooooooooo loooooooooooooong.
